Where to fuel up before or after your ride in Fenway, Southie, and Harvard Square

CASSIE SHORTSLEEVE

If 45 minutes in the saddle has a way of revving up your appetite, we have the answer: great eats, right around the corner. Fortunately, here at HB, we’re lucky to be surrounded by tons of top restaurants in Southie, Fenway, and HarvardSquare, but these 13 are some of our faves — plus, they’re all within walking distance of the studios.

Fueling up before raving the bar is the key to any successful spin class. A mix of easy to digest carbohydrates, proteins, and fluids will rev up your energy to keep you fired up for our entire 45 minute high intensitycardio session.

Potassium rich foods, such as bananas, are essential pre workout snacks to make up for all that sweat you’ll lose in class. Paired with some peanut butter? The delicious combination gets your muscles ready to cycle on. For a special twist, create banana nibblers.

Directions: Mash 1 banana, peanut butter, and vanilla yoghurt in a bowl, slice the other 4 bananas into half-inch thick slices, smear the mixture on half the banana slices and top with the other halves creating banana sandwiches, freeze for at least 2 hours

Directions: mix all ingredients in a food processor until they form a firm batter, place mixture on plastic wrap and squeeze on a flat surface, wrap tightly and freeze for an hour, cut into individual bars.
